Meteorologist Announces Move To CT News Station

CONNECTICUT — Following recent departures, NBC Connecticut has added a second meteorologist to the team. Alexis Clemons will be joining the station, according to The Laurel Connecticut.

She joins NBC after announcing her departure from WKOW in Madison, Wisconsin.

Clemons, originally from St. Louis, talked about the move on social media: "I am so thankful to announce my next move: I’m heading to New England! I have accepted a job as a meteorologist @NBCConnecticut! I’m beyond excited for this new opportunity, and I cannot wait to further grow as a meteorologist in the Northeast!"

She joined WKOW in Madison in November 2022. Clemons graduated from the University of Missouri in 2021 and was the weekday morning meteorologist at KODE/KSNF in Joplin, Missouri for a year and a half.

"She is no stranger to severe weather and has experience with her fair share of winter weather, too," according to her bio.

The news comes after longtime NBC Connecticut meteorologist Darren Sweeney recently announced he will be taking an extended break from TV news. Sweeney had been with the station for 16 years. In October, the station also lost Rachael Jay, who had been on the weather team for three years.
